Thanks, this has been committed in the svn repo. Please also inform the
Evolution team about the possibility of using xulrunner's nspr and nss.

The evolution-data-server/configure.in of the Evolution project has the
same check. It also checks manually for the .h files. Tinymail's Camel
no longer tries this manual searching (I "hate" libraries that don't
install a .pc file, I refuse to use them in my own softwares, which is
why I kept the pkg-config check as only possibility for nspr and nss).

I added their mailing list in CC.
